What can you expect at a shooting range?
All ranges differ, but most of ranges have some basic rules that guide users to what type of equipment and activities are allowed. It is important to check out that ranges’ website or reach out directly before coming to a range and find out if there are specific rules or guidance. Most ranges have a bench or platform for you to shoot from and will have designated distances or places where targets must be placed. In most circumstances range users are expected to bring their own targets, ear and eye protection, and ammunition. If you are just starting your journey into shooting, there are some ranges that rent firearms and have ammunition and targets for sale. Whichever option you choose it is important to do some pre-planning and research the range before you head out.
